Samuel Wiles, a farmer resident of this
vicinity, but for years past resident Of

Wants More Revenue.
H.

A correspondent Of the Nashville
Union makes some good suggestions
to the Legislature and County Courts
in the following:
1. Amend the revenue laws so as to
subject to its assessment at its real
value all taxable property.
2. Amend the constitution by strik-
ing out the clause which exempts
$1,000 worth Of personal property
from taxation in the hands Of each
taxpayer.
3. Make each voter pay his poll tax
or deny him the ballot, as contem-
plated by section 1, article of the
constitution, which requires that each
voter shall give satisfactory evidence
that he has paid his poll tax for each
preceding period as the legislature
shall have prescribed. Let the legis-
lature prescribe the period and vita
lie the organic law.
4. Enact some law not obnoxious
to the constitution taxing all dogs in
excess of one to each head of a fami-
ly.
Taking our suggestions in the in
verse order:
We could get from wise and judi
cious dog tax per annum at least $4,000
We would get from polls, if collec-
ted, additional, at least............ $4,000
We would get from the personal
property now exempt from taxa
ton, additional, at least =. .......... 100000
And by proper amendment to the
revenue laws as they now exist
we would get, additional, at least 100000
Total. aforementioned. $3.50 900
Add this sum to the existing reve-
nue. and to that obtained from county
taxes and we will be able to give the
country children the rudiments of an
education. We say country chill
dren, because they are the sufferers.
The cities and larger towns, by mu-
nicipal taxes, raise enough generally
to keep up good schools for ten
months in the year. Witness Nash
vile, Memphis, Knoxville, jackson
all which have excellent public
schools.

Fayetteville Observer: 1t seems
to be understood that the present
penitentiary lease system is to be
abolished by the coming Legislature,
but what is to take its place no one
can tell. AS now managed, the
prisoners pay to the State over
100000 clear profit; by the old plan
they cost thousands of dollars, which
had to be paid by the taxpayers.
The plea that the prison products
are placed on the market to compete
with honest labor, is an objection
that will exist under any plan.
Whenever Il convict is put to work,
to relieve the State of the burden of
his support, he will be engaged in
something that an honest labOrer
could do. The Legislature will have
TO decide whether it is better for the
criminal to work and support him
self, even though he does, to some
extent, complete with honest labor,
or the worthy working man be taxed
to feed and clothe and guard him,
while he lives in idleneSs.

But few drummers are on the road

The recent appointment of a wo-
man clerk of the House Committee
on the Library, is an innovation
against which there is some complaint
in the ranks of the army ofcandidates
for the position, but the woman suf-
fragists are jubilant, and consider that
they have gained a point without the
aid Of the ballot. Until the present
time women clerks have been en-
ployed in the departments only, and
with the exception of one or two who
have filed positions as telegraph
operators in the corridors of the Capt.
toll, they have not been tolerated I'M

A recent report of the Committee
On Ventilation and Acoustics in the

daily cleansing of the ventilating
pipes, will perhaps not tend to mate
rally strengthen the opinion enter
tanned by some as to the dignity sup
posed to attend the meetings of so
augusta body as the House of Repre-
sentatives. In its report the commit
tee says: "The great American habit
af expectorating is fully exemplifed
on the part of the members of this
branch of the lawmaking department
of the government, and your commit
tee reluctantly, mournfully, but firm
ly confesses its inability to devise
measures which will put an end to
this reprehensible practical practice
that lowers the dignity Of this august
assembly and imperils the health and
we'll being of the servants of the Re
public. Attention is directed to the
fact that there are in this chamber
ZIG nickle-plated cuspidors, furnished
by the munificence of thenation with
the sole design of being employed for
the purposes for which they are pro-
vided, but for some reason unknown
to your committee they are ignored,
and the perforations in the brass ven
tilators employed as the receptacles
of expectoration."
A few days before Christmas the
District Commissioners received a
letter, written by little girl in Mis-
souri,. The letter was addressed to
the "Mair," and in it she inquired in
uncertain and badly spelled English
why it was that her father who serv-
ed through the war, could not get his
pension when so many Others could.
She stated that her father was sick
and too poor to employ lawyer. The
letter was forwarded to the Commits
sioner Of Pensions, who ordered q
special Investigation of the case, and
on Wednesday last the Commissioner
notified the little lady by mail that her
fathers pension had been granted,
with a full allowance of back pay.
The letter was probably received on
Christmas eve, and there was at least
one joyful household in Missouri up
on Christmas day. H.
